Wednesday Morning Open Thread

I've had problems with the Today Show in the past -- when I awaken to the screeching diatribes of Ann Coulter or Bill Donohue. But usually, I can glean some news from the first half hour. Not anymore. This week, the Today Show has dedicated itself to the case of a missing woman from Illinois. Matt Lauer has been interviewing the prime suspect all morning. It's the longest interview I've ever seen Lauer do. Meredith actually interviewed Geraldo Rivera about this case.

If the Today Show devoted a sliver of the time they've given to this case to some of the issues facing the nation, who knows what would happen. But, then they'd be a news show again.

And to top it off, Celine Dion is going to sing this morning live. Ugh.

I need a new morning routine.

So what is the real news?
